Mental wellbeing is closely connected to brain chemistry, hormone balance, nutrient status, and how your body responds to stress. Our Mental Health & Neurotransmitter Testing is designed to provide deeper insight into the biological factors that influence mood, cognition, sleep, focus, and emotional resilience.
At Melbourne Natural Medicine, we offer a comprehensive range of functional tests that assess neurotransmitter activity, metabolic pathways, genetic influences, and hormone interactions that can impact mental health. These tests help us uncover underlying contributors such as nutrient deficiencies, impaired methylation, stress responses, and biochemical imbalances that may be affecting how you feel and function. MTHFR gene testing is particularly important for mental health assessment, as this gene directly controls methylation — the process essential for producing neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, processing B vitamins, and regulating mood and cognitive function.
Testing is guided by a thorough consultation with a naturopath or clinical nutritionist, who will help determine which assessments are most relevant to your symptoms and goals. We carefully review and interpret your results, then use this information to create a personalised care plan focused on supporting brain health, emotional balance, and long-term wellbeing.
Explore the testing options below to gain clarity, feel supported, and take an informed step toward improved mental health.
